If someone came in with a saber, they would not be allowed to enter the premise.
As Zen drew closer to the crowd, he soon realized that there were two queues in front of him, one with many people while the other had much fewer people in comparison. He slightly knitted his eyebrows and wondered, 'Why two queues? Maybe it has the same rule as the entrance exam that those who got the written certificates of the noble clans would be offered privileges of waiting in the smaller queue?'
In the long queue, a rough estimation was that there were over hundreds of people, and they still needed to wait until the disciples practising in the Seven Star Sword Light Platform got out. Anyone who got a glimpse of the situation would know a long time waiting was inevitable. What was more, as the time for the launch of All Peaks Competition was getting closer, almost all Cloud Sect disciples were working hard for it. Therefore, the disciples outside would have to wait much longer than they usually did.
What Zen didn't know was that some people in the long queue had been waiting for an entire day, and some even longer!
As for the other queue, while people were also waiting in line, they didn't need to wait long before their turn, and meanwhile, there were only a dozen or so people waiting in line.
Upon realizing the facts, Zen simply walked to the queue with fewer people.
"Well, my friend, may I ask why there are fewer people in line here?" asked Zen curiously.
The man Zen asked was a disciple clad in a black robe. After hearing his inquiry, he turned around, looked at him and saw that he was dressed in a white robe. With a disdainful look, he responded, "You had better line up in the other queue and stay there."
"Why is that? Are you saying that the outer disciples in white robes are not allowed to be waiting in this queue?" Zen asked such a brazen question only because he too realized that the people in this line were wearing black robes.
The man sneered at him twice, snapping sharply, "Didn't you see the strength of the people in this queue? This queue is for those who are to enter the grade eight, nine, or even ten of the Seven Star Sword Light Platform! However, those without such strength should remain in the line over there, which is for those who are to enter the grade one to seven!"
"Oh, so that is the case! I understand now..." Zen said in a happy tone, nodding. Finally, he realized the underlying situation here.
It turned out that this Seven Star Sword Light Platform had different rules and arrangements when compared to the Lake of the Magical Fish. Since the practice grade arrangement of Lake of the Magical Fish was designed long time ago, it was not so reasonable and suitable for now. As a result, every time Zen dived into the Lake of the Magical Fish, he had to dive from the first level.
The first hundred and fifty meters of the Lake of the Sea Fish were barely helpful to Zen's practice. Thus, it would waste a major chunk of his time during every practice.
However, the situation in Seven Star Sword Light Platform was quite different, which was directly divided into several grades according to different strength of disciples. Those weaker disciples would choose the first to the seventh grade of the platform for their practice, while those with stronger strength would choose the eighth to tenth grade of the platform.
The strength of those disciples wearing black robes in the queue here was not weak, basically with the grade seven to nine of the nature level, even one with the grade consummation, the top grade of the nature level. No wonder they were waiting in line separately here.
